Proton T-Series · 100–240 V universal input

Hard Drive Degaussers in India — Proton T-Series

A degausser applies a 1 to 2 Tesla magnetic pulse that permanently randomises the data layer inside hard drives and tapes — including drives that are dead or firmware-locked. Proton builds the six models below; Quridge supplies, installs and services them across India. Solid-state media cannot be degaussed — see our shredder range.

Before you buy

Five questions that decide the model

1. How many drives per day?

Under 20 a day: the T-1 is enough. 20–150 a day: the T-1.2 or T-1.5. Above 150 a day or a multi-site ITAD contract: the T-5.

2. Is an NSA listing contractual?

If a tender, customer or parent-company policy names an NSA-listed degausser, you are choosing between the T-4 and the T-5. Both are on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List.

3. What media is in scope?

Magnetic media is covered by all six models. Tapes (LTO, DLT, DAT) work on every drawer and slot model. Flash needs the PDS-88 or the PDS-SSD destroyer.

4. How many sites?

One site: a bench degausser. Multiple branches or client sites: the 1100 wand plus the PDS-75 manual crusher lets one engineer sanitize and destroy on location.

5. What records do you have to keep?

If you must evidence destruction per asset, the T-1.2, T-1.5, T-4 and T-5 all give you a per-cycle confirmation. The T-5 additionally has a digital cycle counter that becomes your destruction log.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Indian buyers ask most often. Cannot find yours? Call us — we answer technical questions on the phone.

Which Proton degausser is the most popular in India?

The T-1.5 and T-4 are the most requested. The T-1.5 wins on throughput (sub-5-second cycle, 1.5 Tesla). The T-4 wins wherever an NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List listing is a mandatory tender specification — defence, government, PSU and large BFSI.

What is the difference between the T-1.2 and the T-1.5?

The T-1.5 produces a 1.5 Tesla field against the T-1.2's 1.2 Tesla, and completes a cycle in under 5 seconds versus about 20 seconds. That makes the T-1.5 the cheaper option per drive when you are processing volume, and the safer option on very high-coercivity enterprise media.

Do I need an NSA-listed degausser in India?

If your customer is a government department, a PSU, a bank tendering under RBI supervision, or a defence organisation, an NSA EPL listing is usually written into the tender. For a private Indian company with no such obligation, a 1 to 1.5 Tesla DoD-compliant machine is generally sufficient.

Can these degaussers run on Indian mains?

Yes. All Proton degaussers are supplied to Quridge as universal-voltage units (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz), so they run on standard 230 V / 50 Hz Indian supply without any motor or transformer change.

Do you service degaussers outside Bengaluru?

Yes. We supply and service across India. Annual maintenance contracts cover periodic field-strength verification, consumables and on-site response. For outstation breakdowns we arrange engineer dispatch.
